Sir
I enclose the Secy of Massachusetts Certificate in case of Susannah Pratt of the estate of Eben Pratt her husband in the 8 mo service. —
You mention that there being no rolls of alleged service in 1775 (which I suppose sh d be 1776) that the said proof will be regarded. —
I understand that said Pratt was in service beyond both those terms. —
That he enl d in the Army in Capt Frazar Company & Genl Reed's Regiment after the year service untill 1783 & was discharged at Valley Forge & that his declaration under the act of 1820 so states. —
This list is not adopted to in the reply to the application of the widow & of course no examination has been had in the Office in Mass.
If the rolls at Washington show this the 8 mo service would seem to be immaterial. —
Will you again recur to

his declaration under the act of 1820.
I had supposed that she was entitled to a full pension
Respectfully F. E. Edwards
I also enclose the certificate also in case of Sarah Whitcomb showing more service (a trifle) than her husband was pensioned for. —
I return the paper for Eunice Emery - for correction - the husband's name is Gotham . - I did not discover the error until search was made on it for the services of Jonathan Emery when returned I will obtain the certificate. - I know not whether the mistake was made in her declaration, giving his name as Jonathan, but however that may be the fact is to my personal knowledge

that the true name is Gotham. —

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of William Coame which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? Yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? Yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? Yes V. Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? Yes VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? Yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? Yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? Yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? Yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? Yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service?
No
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
No
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?
Yes
XIV. If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility?
Yes
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
Yes
XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
Yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
Yes
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the affidavits must be properly authenticated, as above directed.
QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Secretary's Office, August 16 1843.
I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Jonathan Ames is found upon a roll of Capt. Simon Dyer's Co. Col. Wythe's Regt. in the month of June 1776, for handling shot and in the roll of the same Regiment in the month of
The name of Jonathan Ames is found upon the pay roll of Capt. Winthrop's Col. Durfee's Regiment from May 1777 and is the only roll showing any service of said Ames in this Department. Two months 13 days.
The name of Jonathan Ames of Framingham is found on a roll of April 1776 for 30 days under Capt. John Ames.
And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this

Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone; and that said application and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances which tend to satisfy me of the identity of the party described in the application with the individual who rendered the service.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.
Geo. A. Dole Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Pension Office, May 20 1843.
Sir,
The papers in the case of Eunice Eames, claiming pension under the acts of July 7. 1838 and March 3. 1843, have been examined, and placed on file. The act of March 3. 1843 provides, only for such widows as are entitled to pension, under the act of 7 th July 1838. The claim must consequently await the result of the claim under that act. With reference to the latter, the proofs of marriage and identity are satisfactory, but the certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, who has, in his possession the Revolutionary Rolls, must be produced, showing that the alleged service was performed. Jotham Eames, the late husband of the claimant, says in his declaration that he served in December 1775, and in February, March and July 1776, under Captain Edgell, and in 1777 under Capt. Winch, Col. Bullard's Regiment. The above rolls, were not at command when his claim was admitted, and recourse was had to parol testimony to sustain it, which cannot now be permitted. The service of six

mostly in 1780, under Captain Clois, also stated by him, in Col. Nixon's Regiment, is shewn by rolls in this Office.
I am, Very Respectfully,
Your Ob t Servant
